A Happy 2013 from Cornwall

New Years resolutions have already gone out the window with a sausage sandwich for breakfast this morning but it was darn good and I really enjoyed it lol
2013 is a new start with the blogging and I hope to add some of my cards each week and stay in touch more this coming year
A warm wish for the coming year for all my crafty pals and new ones in the coming year.

Hope you like the first 2 cards, using a celtic seahorse stamp from scottish border stamps with backgrounds made from spray inks by adirondak.
Have a crafty day everyone

Vintage Card & more Dyeing & spinning

More dyeing, which I did on holiday, this time these are dyes I found in my attic,

I have had them for at least 25 yrs lol, just shows if you keep something long enough you will eventually use it lol



The colours have blended together beautifully,



 



This is a gorgeous greens and coppery colours





 

carded and blended together 

 just wish I had dyed more as I have only 2 hanks of the wool, so not sure what I will make with them as yet,
I also have some of the fibres left over from the carding machine which I am going to felt with my machine so when I get round to making a card with it I will show you all....

In the meantime......  Heres a card I made over the summer, the backing paper I made myself in Photoshop. The sentiment reads :- time goes by so fast enjoy every moment.
I have added card candy and a prima flower with a ribbon bow. I love the colours in this card I think its my favourite so far......

DAD - you are priceless

papers from hot off the press some of my favourite designers

Today a Nautical Card

Using assorted Nautical stamps I have made this card using shimmer inks and distress inks a real mix of a card but a great theme for men, even if you dont live by the sea.  Lighthouses are always a favourite for me....
I have added some bits and pieces from my stash for embellishments,  I am busy spinning at the mo trying to finish a small batch of dyed fibres so I can show you hopefully tomorrow...
call back to see what Ive been upto
take care all
